This just isn't true.
Not to disparage Smith at all, he had a great season, finally providing Calgary with a real starting goaltender.
But he was ranked 18th in save percentage for starters, and the team was ranked 18th overall in save percentage.
The team couldn't score enough goals to win games, but Smith wasn't the runaway MVP either.
